Description ganooslashlinus 2022-09-19 06:15:54 UTC
In all ebuilds: LICENSE="GPL-3 LGPL-3"

The licensing in the GIMP sources is sloppy (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GNOME/gimp/master/LICENSE) and implies that GIMP is GPLv3-only and libgimp is LGPLv3-only, but it's actually: GPLv3+ and LGPLv3+

gimp --license:

Thanks for report.

Yes, as related to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/blob/master/desktop/org.gimp.GIMP.appdata.xml.in.in (line 14)
the project licence is actually "GPL-3.0+ AND LGPL-3.0+" and this info is updated on 22 Dec 2015.
